Web Site:
Toyo Trading Company
 Objective:
Toyo has hundreds of retail
stores throughout the country that already sell its products. This site is
a launch-pad to highlight new artists and new product lines. There are also buttons to allow
the visitor to:
-
See galleries of products by individual artists.
-
Find stores where the products are sold at
retail.
-
Find showrooms where the products are sold at
wholesale.
-
Find shows where the products are displayed.
-
Order a catalog of the product line.
-
Fill out a credit application online.
-
Contact the company.
-
Download a current inventory of the product
line(for authorized salespeople only).
-
Purchase clearance products twice yearly(for
authorized retail stores only).
Special Features:
-
This site has a very unique navigation bar that
seems to float over the page. This is accomplished by layering and
is only viewable on the Internet Explorer browser. Users of
the Netscape Navigator are re-directed to pages without layers.
-
This is a sophisticated e-commerce site, complete
with "secure socket layers" and a very robust shopping cart. The
shopping area is only accessible to established retail stores that
already sell Toyo products. Once the customer logs into the site
with their account number, they can purchase clearance merchandise and,
at checkout, are invoiced by Toyo.
-
Salespeople around the country can "log-in" with
a username and password to download weekly inventories. This
feature requires a database of authorized users. This database is
kept on the site and updated as needed.
